Mother Goose - Jethro Tull
Mama Lucy
I'm trying to remember what I read about this song when Jaimeo Brown released the CD. I know it used a 1959 recording of a Mississippi prison inmate mourning the passing of Mama Lucy, a granny healer who cared for the black community in its lack of medical attention, then had nobody to help her when she herself was dying. The thunderstorm heard in the background of that old track seems to me to add heaven's sorrow to the mix.
